Christmas gifts for cheese lovers
Wondering what to get the cheese lover in your life for Christmas? Wonder no more – here at Godminster, we have Christmas cheese gift suggestions sure to dazzle and delight.
Cheese gift sets and hampers
Cheese gift sets and hampers really are the whole package. Packed with a range of delicious cheeses, plus crackers and chutney to pair them with – not to mention a delicious bottle of fizz or wine to enjoy alongside – Christmas cheese hampers make for an ideal Christmas gift.
Something to consider is the personal taste of your intended recipient. If they’re a cheddar fan, you might want to consider running with that theme and getting them our Ultimate Triple Cheddar Collection. Or if they like their cheese with a bit of a spicy kick, our Godminster Four Cheese Gift Set contains our chilli Cheddar, sure to please.
If you want to really personalise your gift, you could handpick each individual cheese and accompaniment for your hamper. Explore our range of cheese products to start selecting everything for the perfect personalised cheese hamper.
A Cheese board
Christmas just isn’t Christmas without a delicious cheese board. And as Christmas and cheese boards go hand-in-hand, a cheese board can also make the perfect gift.
Cheese boards are typically made from slate or wood, and look fantastic piled with cheese, crackers, chutney, and whatever else you like to enjoy alongside cheese. Our Born in Bruton Gift Box contains just about everything you need to create the perfect cheese board spread.
Crackers and biscuits
If you’re gifting someone with Christmas cheese, why not also treat them to some delicious crackers and biscuits to go with it? You can find sweet and savoury crackers to suit a range of tastes.
If you’re planning on gifting a range of cheeses, go for a cheese cracker selection with a variety of flavoured crackers which will complement soft, hard, and crumbly cheeses – this way, you’ll be covering all bases.
Chutney
Where would a Christmas cheese board be without some chutney alongside the cheese and crackers? Sweet and savoury chutneys are a great cheese accompaniment. The best chutney to gift at Christmas will depend on the types of cheese you’re gifting. Caramelised red onion chutney is great for mature Cheddar, or strong cheeses such as Stilton. Sweet chilli chutney is an ideal partner for mild Cheddar or hard cheeses.
Looking for some cheese and chutney pairing ideas? Our sweet and fruity Beetroot and Apple Chutney was designed to pair perfectly with our legendary Vintage Bruton Beauty cheddar. Our deliciously smooth Cider Apple Jelly balances sweetness and tart flavours, and pairs fantastically with our Cheyney’s Fortune Oak-Smoked Organic Vintage Cheddar. And our deep, rich Sticky Fig Chutney packs a powerful flavour punch alongside our Howling Hound Black Truffle Cheddar.
Wine and port
This Christmas, treat someone to a cheese and wine gift set that includes not only their favourite cheeses, but a tasty drink to enjoy alongside them. The best wine to complement cheese depends on the flavour of the cheese. Classic cheese and wine pairings include:
- Port and blue cheese. Port pairs excellently with any strong flavour cheese, such as aged Cheddar, Gouda, and Romano.
- White wine and soft, rich cheeses, such as Camembert and Brie.
- Red wine and aged cheeses, such as Cheddar and Gouda.
- Prosecco and cheeses with earthy flavours, such as Camembert and Brie.
